Our research provides a deep evaluation of the equity dimensions of our transition to clean and sustainable energy systems. We focus on energy and transportation topics worldwide that converge on policy and engineering. We collaborate with governments, corporations, and researchers to help solve our world’s pressing sustainability issues.
Data-driven analyses of how equitable and inclusive public policies have been, and their root causes.
Data-driven scalable tools for cities to use in determining the viability of transitioning public transportation fleets from diesel into electric.
Evaluating decarbonization paths for clean, sustainable and equitable energy transitions, while accounting for socio-technical challenges and environmental burdens.
Examining equity in the deployment of clean technologies to help develop better policies and mechanisms.
Evaluating the role of financial mechanisms as key components to achieving high penetration levels of residential rooftop photovoltaics.
Evaluate the decisions made by electric utilities across the state to obtain their perspectives on their emergency operations and their ability to respond to extreme weather events
Open-source capacity expansion model of the ERCOT grid to capture long-term grid planning decisions
Evaluates rooftop solar potential and financial viability on UT Austin campus’ buildings.
Evaluating the impacts of a large-scale PV installation in an urban setting of the city of Austin
Comprehensive evaluation of different Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) technologies in the context of application for community solar+storage projects.
This is a suite of projects that have been constructed to quantify and evaluate the opportunities to transition from diesel-based to electrified buses.
We analyzed racial and ethnic variation in the deployment and installation of solar rooftop PV systems in the US.
On-going studies for Mexico and Honduras, to assess the viability of transforming their electrical grid in the medium and long term.
We collaborate with diverse stakeholder groups (cities, policymakers, technology companies, and more) to help make energy transitions both feasible and accessible for all. We develop data-driven approaches that are scalable and can be adopted by multiple cities.
